Range Rover v BMW v Porsche: For £2,000?!

- What should you do if you want a luxury SUV without the luxury price tag? Well, Mat may have the answer…
He’s gathered three second hand luxury SUVs which all cost under £2,000! We’ve got a Mk3 Range Rover, a Mk1 Porsche Cayenne and a Mk1 BMW X5.
Let’s start with the Range Rover. It’s a 2005 model with a 3.0-litre diesel engine putting out 175hp. It comes packed with wood and sumptuous leather, however that trademark split tailgate is broken. Still, we got it for just £2,000. Not bad when you consider it would’ve cost someone around £62,830 back in the day!
Fancy something a bit sportier? Maybe the Porsche Cayenne S is more your style. Back in 2003 this car would have set you back £45,000, but we nabbed this one for just £1,950. It has a thumping great 4.5-litre V8 under the bonnet with 335hp, and it should be a hoot to drive on a twisty road.
The final offering we have for you is the BMW X5. Our’s is the 4.4-litre V8 Sport model, which would have cost £45,700 when new. Now though, you can have this one for £1,800. It has 286hp, and a satisfying V8 burble.
So, which of these cut-price luxury SUVs is the best buy? Stick with Mat to find out.
The cars were covered by trade insurance, driven on the road using trade plates and had valid MOT's at the time of filming. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
So so glad to see Taylor in the video. He’s such a genuinely knowledgeable friendly human being…
@المملكة العربية السعودية wow, thanks ksa
More Taylor
@@jakemoore1973 more and more and more epicness of Taylor.
Hope Mat and Taylor gonna carry over the whole rest of Carwow shows.
Would you say that if he weren't in a wheelchair
I love how honest taylor is about his cars, even though he is losing many potential buyers but still he is being honest. Respect 💯
Get real. He isn't losing anything. It's just a show.
@@dundee1080 Did he think hes an dealer? Or is he indeed?
Mate, Matt just called him out with the oxymoron. 🤦😂
This is the best free ad a business could have, Taylor with Carwow and also Carthrottle's Alex will see his business boom. Taylor is a great personality!
now thats i call quality analysis
I haven't had this much fun watching a Carwow video before. This was 31 minutes well spent. Taylor's a gem
I didn’t event notice it was 31 mins til I read this comment. Great episode!
"Rust is lighter than carbon fibre" - classic line 😂
Taylor’s great, can’t beat his dry humour
now thats i call quality analysis
Jubair, Taylor has tons of epic humours.
Yes I can.
Taylor is a joy to watch lol, bring him more often!
If you want more of him. He is over on AutoAlex Cars
now thats i call quality analysis
@@cal2022 AutoAlex Cars? What is that, Callum?
12.49 seconds of 0 to 60 seemingly cool.
Agreed
I've never seen Mat laugh so much, this is such a natural pairing! Loved it!
Taylor needs his own channel, great video!
No he doesn't
He pretty much does, look at autoalex
@@noaerrr See if i said no why would I want to look at his channel 🤷
@@barryjohnmillsip2853 fair point, I mean I wasn’t replying to you and I have no idea what your comment was. But I’m assuming you made a very good argument.
The Matt and Taylor show - a brilliant humour match. More, please!
Matt and Taylor hopefully also appearing in tons of more Carwow vids.
2023 FORD FOCUS ST X czcams.com/video/TczEPFqT7YI/video.html
Imagine them Co-Reviewing some cars... perfection!
This is one of the best Carwow videos ever made
Totally agree.
Absolutely love cheap car reviews! This was one of the most enjoyable Carwow videos I’ve seen! Has almost the fun of the golden Age of Top Gear (the drugs and the porn comment to the other driver were absolutely hilarious btw haha)
Definitely look forward to what’s next with these, and hoping to see more cheap car videos in the future! I’d avoid any goofy mods though, was always the worst part of the cheap car challenges in my opinion.
(Maybe even come to the states and do a cheap American car challenge! Especially cheap pickups! That would be a guaranteed hit!!!)
Taylor and Matt the collab we didn’t know we needed. Love Taylor from AutoAlex’s channel. Major thumbs up 👍
I love Taylor. He’s so funny and genuine and I’m glad to see him in a carwow vid and hopefully the big audience will benefit him
I love the unique dynamic he has with Alex and Mat as well.
I like how honest bro is abt his car lol
omg can i get a prize
Love these big barges, the main challenge is the upkeep and maintenance as opposed to the purchase price.
Filling the tank with inflated priced petrol?
I had a ‘54 plate ex-police Range Rover with the 4.4 V8, absolute beast, everything worked. Most comfortable car I’ve ever owned and it moved when you pushed the throttle for a 2.4 tonne car 👌🏼 10/10 would have another
My favorite line, "Rust is lighter than carbon fiber "😂😂😂 I really enjoyed this review. Matt, U and Taylor have good chemistry. Good job guys 😄
I never thought the Range had rear-wheel steering, way ahead of its time!
Ironically the new ones do
And it's AI powered
Honda Prelude had it in the 80s.
No point because it’ll be in the shop all the time
Not exactly ahead of its time when nissan did it years before.
12:07 those are the little pellets that seal an inc cartridge for a pen. If the cartridge is empty you can cut it open and remove the little ball. I actually collect them in the back of one of my pens because there’s extra space in it that the cartridge doesn’t use
The BMW is great, we had one of those, but a 3.0d, the issue with the gearbox is mostly related to the GCM, gearbox control module (at least it was the case with our car). The fix was to get another GCM off of ebay for 300 euros and get it replaced. The car had more then 400.000 km on it and it drove beautifully, other then them GCM and foggy headlights it had no problems.
Taylor and Matt - great combo, do more stuff with him
Matt, yanni and Taylor would make an awesome top gear trio 👌
omg! yes
I loved it, please do "reviews" like this more!! 🙂
‘When you put it in reverse the main beams come on’ 😂😂😂
Yeeesssss!!!! This is what I wanted! A video with a X5 . Thanks a lot Carwow.
Exactly! Not only X5 but Cayenne and range rover
Sameee
actually, i really like this video. Matt and Taylor good pair for this show. waiting for the next episode
wait until you see autoalex (the guy from car throttle) they are friends and its so funny
I actually enjoy these cheap car ones the most.
And Taylor is absolutely lovable, wouldn't mind seeing more of him. Thanks
Love this kind of content. Matt and Taylor make a great double act.
When I saw it was a Cayenne S, the first thing I wondered was if there´s an issue with cooling? I wasn´t wrong
As an ex 955 Cayenne owner, here´s my tip: *Buy a Turbo or Turbo S only*
1. Turbocharged Cayennes have better cooling
2. Engine blocks are made from far more heat-proof materials
3. Huge step up in performance, and just small impact on fuel consumption.
4. You get much more equipment, including different gauges with full LCD screen
5. More aggressive front and quad pipes
Do I recommend this car? Not, until fuel prices fall down. Fuel consumption can be abysmal in town driving. With my calm driving, it consumed 16,8l/100 km in urban driving. It´s quite efficient on motorway though, 10,6-11l/100 km when driving 120 km/h. And let´s not forget that we talk about a SUV which weighs almost 3000 kg!
The main trick for better fuel economy is to not engage turbochargers when not necessary.
Was it reliable?
1. It had issue with one of brake hoses. There was a very small hole in it, which caused Brake Booster Faulty error message.
2. Drunk parking sensors. A second control unit fixed the problem
3. Self triggering alarm. The problem was caused by bad wire in driver´s door
4. One of shock absorbers (air suspension) jammed up, and needed replacement
Overall, it was very reliable. It always took me from A to B in comfort, without any problems.
Things to know:
1. It drinks oil like hell. But don´t be scared, it´s normal
2. Never lift the car without switching off the air suspension. You will end up with a nightmare
3. Boot capacity is unfortunately just average, and so is the space in the back. Not the most practical SUV...
Congratulations lucky winner you have been shortlisted
Use the name above to claim your prize 🆙🎁🆙🎁🎁
Nice info, does the cooling and materials apply to the 4.8s too? Is the GTS as good as the Turbo?
@@MRFUCKOFF202 Porsche solved the cooling issues in 4.8 V8. Engines were made from better materials, and plastic cooling lines were replaced with aluminium.
Plastic lines were also an issue in 955 Cayenne (also Turbo) and could also lead to engine overheating. Majority of 955s had plastic lines replaced with aluminium by mechanics.
You can go for every version of 957 Cayenne with 4.8 V8. They are better than 4.5 V8. You just need for watch out for PVC Valve which is connected to emission system. If it fails, you will notice increased oil consumption, exhaust smoke and the engine will not work properly.
957 is also the first Porsche to have a diesel engine (3.0 TDI). It's a economic engine with decent performance. But it often comes with a cost of worse equipment than the petrol ones. No air suspension and some more tacky interior trim.
Also 3.0 TDI suffered from issues with timing chain, which could stretch.
It also have DPF, which means that you have to punch it at least two times in month. Otherwise you will jam it and lose performance. It can be solved with a diagnostics (forced regen). The worst scenario here is a replacement of DPF, which is very pricey
@@ARIES6181 Awesome thanks for the info. Wouldn't really consider the diesel, it's the same tax in the UK as the petrols, has said extra issues, is significantly slower, sounds worse, diesel is now approx 10-20% more expensive and it won't be ULEZ compliant, way too many reasons to avoid for the one benefit of slightly better fuel economy than the 3.6. Red GTS manual is the dream!
@@MRFUCKOFF202 Diesel one doesn't sound that bad to be honest. Of course, a BMW 3.0d sounds better
There's no seated heats 🤣. Made my day that.
Hats off for Taylor, for bringing joy to this episode, really hope to see more..
Plz don't break the cars more than they already are, fix them 😢🙏
🚗🔥
Well sadly if look the next video they do get more damaged but hey they were bought for fun .
A great video. And it makes arefreshing change from the usual over-price, underwhelming new stuff. Many thanks. PS: Would you do a video of cheap 'luxury' for for £5k or £10K please?
Matt, Taylor and Alex from AutoAlex is the trio we need!!!!
Loving seeing Taylor, brilliantly funny and honest...
That was nice! I would like to see alternating content like this AND usually content of dragracing.
That answer to that curious driver was genial.. "we will stop over there then..😂😂
I really enjoyed that video Matt. Taylor was great, he's just so easy going and honest and a really likeable character. I'd love to see him and you in more videos together.
The build that Ed from VinWiki has done with the Porsche Cayennes he has bought is pretty badass. He has lifted them, added bumpers, lights, and bigger wheels and tires
Porsche Cayenne is a badass SUV.
The Cayenme is hands down the best choice here, better on road than the BMW, comparable offroad to the range Rover, and far more reliable than either. Too bad it's such an eyesore. The 958.2 Cayenne fixes that and is possibly the most complete vehicle ever built. I am not generally a fan of SUVs, but I make an exception for that.
The cayennes and Touareg’s will give built off-roaders a run for their money with a lift and tires
"What are the cameras for?" - and the rest of the video I missed because I was laughing too hard.
☝☝☝Thanks for the comment... contact me for information and profitable investment strategies...☝☝☝☝☝☝
what a great video, absolute joy to watch it! please make more videos with other old cars:)
Absolutely great video.
I’ve been wanting to own a RR L322 since 2003 but back then couldn’t afford to buy one…. Nowadays I couldn’t afford to maintain one!
As soon as I laid eyes on the Porsche I said, “Drug dealer’s car”. Lo and behold I was proven right. 😎
"Rust is lighter than carbon fibre" 🤣🤣🤣 Made my day!
Gonna watch it later,but i will not bei disappointed for sure.
This is a video I ve been waiting for, beside all the new expansive cars.
Watch you Mat Watson for almost a decade, you re still my favorite car reviewer!
Thanks for all the work you ande your teams!
And I come also for the good british humor.
Greetings from Germany 🚙⛽
would have liked to see the Range with the 4.4 V8, which would have been a better comparison engine wise to the others and btw the same engine as in the X5. I bought the 4.4 V8 Range 3 Years ago, only because of moving houses and I needed a car with a lot of space (a van would been more expensive or completely worn down). So it became the Range..I could fit 12 Moving Boxes.. with intention to sell it again right after the move. Well, I fell in Love, kept him ever since. What a great car for the money. Will keep it until it falls apart.
😄 Very funny, i love Taylor's honesty, and Matt's dry put downs, brilliant
Just a tip, if you buy it for 2000 pounds, keep an extra 2000 every year for maintenance 😉
Yup
If you have a budget of £10k, buy the car for £2k, invest the rest, circa £800 per year profit towards repairs, lose 1k on trade in after a couple of years. Or pay £10k, lose £6k on trade in and still spend £££ per year for maintenance. See, it makes sense!
@@MRFUCKOFF202 thanks for the tip
Love the granny cart reverse sirens. I also love the Rangie. I have a 2004, L322 with 222k miles, she has the 4.4L V8, a rebuilt trans at 150k miles and her only issue is an airbag light. She does not have the rust or rear suspension issue…totally tight, I love her dearly.
I have a 2005 range rover sport but it's a very rare one as it usally is powered by a 4.2 supercharged but my one has the same 4.4 N/A as your one, there is only 326 ever built of mine. I love this car dearly aswell but I am going to sell it anytime soon as it has done 124k miles and has engine lights, air suspension light, and the propshaft bearing is broken so the whole car shakes whenever you drive it. But I am going to buy another range rover, probably an svr maybe.
Cool rare RRS build. How did you get the engine spec’d? Mine is currently at 236k miles and is having her timing chain replaced, it is her largest repair to date by far.
@@janjander152 I'm not very sure, as I am not the first owner. I bought it at 3,000 miles. I think the car was maybe imported from a country where the 4.4 was available on the sport or the first owner spec'd it with the 4.4 for some reason unlike most other buyers. Either way, the car was an absolute beast when it was new.
What a brilliant double act. Love to see more of these.
We need more of Mat and Taylor what a duo
Love these kind of videos, looking forward to seeing what you do with them Matt!
As a Cayenne owner I’d definitely say it’s the one to have. I’ve never seen one with a transmission issue before. The other two will spend more time in the shop than on the road
especially the 958 generation, with the v6 and v8 diesels, they will go forever when you look after them
@@CGCTV what about the new one?
had an 06 loved it. transmission seemed a bit clunky but solid car. ive got the 07 hse now and love it. cayenne is way more fun to drive.
Popular misconception about the Range and the X5 transmission - its from people who never owned such vehicles. They are no more or less reliable than any other car. At least the Range and X5 are bespoke chassis unlike the Porsche (which isn't a Porsche) is a VW Toureg that's been hit with the ugly stick.
nah x5 any day
Taylor so well behaved when Alex is not around 🤣
Love all your content Carwow ! just great 👍
That was awesome, love these types of vids 👍 can’t wait to see what you have planned for the 3 of them, good one Mat , cheers 🍻
As someone who has lived with a first generation BMW X5 since 2006 I must say I was very surprised by how many small parts the Range rover had in common with it.
The X5 to me still looks the most timeless than the other cars, and it still looks good today
@@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan I completely agree. I really love the first gen X5.
That model Range Rover was developed in Munich and the UK, exterior design too. In many ways it is a BMW.
@@kriskalpa6346 Like the new Supra?
@@flyingby3703 yes! And at one point, the RR had the same BMW 4.4 engine.
I'm looking at an old x5 3.0d I want something I can drive to work in slight luxury and beat on the weekends with some light offroading
And the m57 is 👌
Look forward to seeing the future instalments on these 3 and their adventures. Good deal on the 3, fp.
This content is ace. Taylor and Mat are hilarious together
Thank you for every information 👍👍
That range rover is a perfect off road course basher. Loved watching Taylor and Alex buying these things on Alex's channel. Nice to see Taylor getting some time on other channels as well.
Not sure about perfect. You'll also want to drive home presumably?
@@kevinmoore2696 that's true. Maybe getting some good walking shoes just in case 😉
Love Taylor's Humour 🤣🤣
Looking forward to "the things" Mat has in store for these SUVs!
I'm not really into SUV/4x4 and was about to skip it until I saw Taylor was on! Nice to see him getting about, he gets on well with people.
Anyone else watching this thinking “hmm yeah I’d have all of those…”?
You would just want the Range Rover , Surley 😅
As someone that owns a Mark 1 Porsche Cayenne (the exact same as the video), it drives beautifully, apart from the electronic problems you will obviously come across after all these years, I've never had gearbox problems like mentioned in the videos, however none of my bonnet or boot hydraulics work 🤣. Aside from that the car is perfect. Highly recommend if you're looking for a cheap cayenne.
How long have you owned yours for? I’ve had mine a few months and it’s been quite problematic 🤣
@@NathanMannin 14 years chief 🤣 Dad bought the car when it first came to my country (Malaysia) and have had it ever since. Of course after all these years we’ve encountered our fair share of problems with the car but nothing aside from the common wear & tear issues.
@@NathanMannin The difference may lie on the fact that we had the car brand new and are the first owners whereas with you I think I’m right to assume you bought it used.
I have a thing for first gen of cayenne. I like the versione with the spare wheel outside
I've had mine for a couple months and the only problems it had are the ones it came with but they were very minimal and otherwise its like its brand new excluding mileage ofc. Pretty sure the previous owners babied it and just bought another when the brake lights stopped working which was an easy fix.
Bro, the used cars in the UK is just amazing. Here in Portugal, for 2000€ I get a thing like a Peugeot 307 from 2004, and a MK1 Cayenne would never cost less than 10.000€
That kind of cayenne in such condition would have cost at least 15k in where I live, that's pretty much why everyone drives a toyota lol.
Agora por 2 mil até já se vê 106 e ibizas de 97, Portugal em carros usados é horrível
E tem em mente que esse Taylor faz vídeos com o Alex que esteve no Car Trottle e eles comprar um BMW de 2005 eu acho por apenas 750 libras num leilão
My folks live in Ibiza paid 3k Euro for a 20year old Citroen c1. Find a way to import vehicles!
Really like these real world old banger comparisons Matt, do more! 👌
Thank you carwow for not being a typical new car group. Getting some great UK content creators to help with good content for us to enjoy! Great video and hope more too come
☝☝☝ Thanks for the comment... contact me for information and profitable investment strategies☝☝☝☝
Taylor has been popping up all over the place recently, and it's clear to see why. What a lad! 👌
What's his channel name?
@@abdullahqamar7934 He doesn't have one, but often appears on AutoAlex's channel
@@TehMisteh557 😘thanks
I’d buy a car from Taylor. Love his honesty. What do you expect from a £2k car. Great video
Taylor and Matt a brilliant combo, I'd love to see more as you diss cars like Honest Salesmen.🤣🤣
Reliability has left the chat.
Was just thinking that - a 2 grand 4x4 of that kind of ilk will probably cost you 3 grand a year in keeping it on the road... unless you are lucky or just going to drive it into the ground.
But you get seated heats
@@gamingpersonality4306 thank god I'm not the only one who clocked that
@@gamingpersonality4306 seated heats lol
The Most Honest Salesman Ever 😂
One of the best videos i’ve ever seen on Carwow and i’m glad you them from him
The laugh of Mat is absolutely incredible fun to listen to
Omg i love this series… please make more❤❤❤❤❤
"But I am an honest salesman" Taylor 😭😭😂
Taylor an Alex are getting around on the bigboy car channels recently
17:05 “there’s no seated heats..” gave me a proper giggle
Having owned a mk 1 Cayenne S and X5, my advice is to always check the service history and bills. If they don't have any, run a mile. Many people buy these cars for the kudos but cannot afford to run them properly.
I spent over 2k within the first month of ownership of the BMW.
The Cayenne's fuel injectors on mine failed soon after purchase, £1,500. Around 5 months later, part of the transmission was gone, another £1,500.
Lovely cars when they run, but as said, a lot of owners at the price simply cannot afford to run the cars or choose not to and sell them when they know a big bill's coming.
On the plus side, once I sorted the major issues on both (including the radiator that went on the X5, another £1,000), both cars ran fairly well, but I maintained the cars with regular services and carried out repairs as soon as they were needed.
@ 2:55 "out of the three this (the Range Rover) has the highest quantity of issues"
I am shocked, absolutely shocked!! 🤣
The range rover actually is pretty good inside damn
If you could only have the German tech and the English interior. English wiring alone is enough to scare me away, not to mention rust.
That’s exactly what the Range Rover is
@@lukepullen5694 don't believe there's much German tech in Range Rovers. Engine for one is built I the UK. Hard pass for me.
@@MrBirgerB bmw owned Land Rover when the l322 was designed. All the electrics, engines and gearboxes. Almost every component has bmw stamped on it. The electrical system was based on the 7 series and the 5 series of the time.
@@MrBirgerB you clearly need to do some research mate.
What we learned here is if you've got £2000 to buy a Range rover... You can't afford a Range rover. 🤣👍🏻
His honesty is amazing. Love it.
"You can't see smells"
-Mat Watson, 2022
Now this is some interesting content! Rather watch these than videos about brand new vehicles
This video really reminds me of the OG top gear cheap luxury car challenges... More of these PLEASE!
Love Taylor ! I was gonna comment early an say where’s the mobility scooter an then tad ahhh here it is hahaha 👍
0:12 - they had us in the first half, not gonna lie
The interior on that Range Rover L322 has aged really well, not surprised that gearbox was rebuilt, the 5 speed is terrible, the later 8 speed is far superior, also when talking about the Range Rover’s gearbox you showed the X5’s gear selector, if you do a off road test the Range Rover will definitely be winning, although the Cayenne is a good contender, the e53 won’t have a chance off road.
Mat and Taylor are a perfect pair, we need this duo more
Possibly your best video! I had the best of times!😂
Taylor is definitely a legend please more video like this
This is how I felt buying my E70 X5 Diesel. Once I fixed the issues and did a deep clean it became a great vehicle for a fraction of the price of a new Toyota.
Agree there. I bought a VW for £500 under the asking price as the abs and traction control lights came on on my test drive. Said to the seller it's likely the abs pump going wrong which is £200 as pointed by the fault code mentioning abs module. Luckily and touch wood at the moment I replaced the front right wheel sensor and the lights seem to not pop up now so fixed that for just £30
lol, it's literally the worse luxury suv from 00s. Cayenne, infiniti FX, HSV avalanche, caddy srx, ML, allroad, touareg, XC90, discovery, chrysler pacifica are all better
@@olofdaisler9121 haha okay buddy. I got it because of the diesel. I had the Toureg TDI in mind as well, but those were the only two diesel mid-size suvs I liked for the price I was going for. The Q7 was a good option too, but it was a bit too expensive.
@@ghost21501 I hope your car will last long. At least they were well built. It's just not as spacious and capable as the rivals, but maybe that could not be important for you.
Love this video it would be great to see more like this
Great video, one of the best! Taylor seems a great guy. I understand the cars are dirty and all that but this man is gonna sell them, Mat you could open doors and go to back like a gent, not the way you did, show some respect!
buddy of mine spent 7 months grinding and welding rustholes in both the frame and body on a 1986 range rover classic that had been run in norwegian salted roads since new. was still a shitbox but probably the least rusty english car in norway. (sidenot: my dad used to say "funny thing about english cars is that if you are bored one day you can sit outside and listen to it rust.)
Let’s talk🎁🆙🎁🎁
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣The mobility scooter part killed me..
This content seems more fun then the regular one, do more of these.
This was the best car review I've ever watched, 100%
it's good to see Taylor in different channels, I mean generally in youtube! great video guys
Thanks for watching and commenting Send a direct message right away I got some special package for you✅..........
Taylor seems like a good dude, really like his vibe.
